Jew in Jail is the true story of the nearly six years I spent incarcerated for robbery in various correctional facilites in New York State as a direct result of my past addictions to alcohol, drugs and gambling.

My book details my attempts to change and get recovery from my addictions while behind bars, all the while being forced to deal with mistreatment and anti-Semitism from inmates and staff.

Jew in Jail is informative, insightful, touching, enlightening, and even comedic at times, but above all, teaches anyone who reads it that it is never too late to ask for help in order to turn one's life around and become a productive member of society.

Jew in Jail is targeted at anyone who is, or has ever dealt with an addiction, a friend, family member or co-worker of such a person, or anyone living with low self-esteem who is interested in being the best person they can be in life.
